The hotel staff were very welcoming. The room was lovely and clean and there was a choice of teas, coffee and hot chocolate with biscuits in the room too. The breakfast at this hotel was fantastic and the choice is amazing.

With the exception of one individual bar staff being rude we had a lovely stay here.
Breakfast was excellent, and the staff there serving were extremely friendly and welcoming to dogs.
Plenty of local walks and local shops for all of your needs!
Thank you again for making our stay so welcoming

Absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms are really nice and the bar and restaurant area are lovely too. Toiletries were the White Company and in bigger bottles so much more eco friendly as it wasn’t the small single use ones that most other hotels insist on using. We had our dog with us and it’s probably the most dog friendly hotel we’ve stayed in. And the location means there’s a lovely walk along the lake in the woods on the doorstep. Our only criticism was the bedroom was absolutely roasting and we couldn’t figure out why as we turned all the radiators off and even had the window open all night (in January!). Would love to go back in the summer and make the most of the outdoor terrace.

This hotel is blessed with amazing staff . I got a call asking if I needed dinner the first night as I had put that I would arrive late.
Great clean hotel. Would recommend very highly.
I am not a person who often leaves reviews but feel these guys more than deserve it.

An amazing stay in a lovely area. Nice pub with friendly, welcoming staff. Warm & cosy with log burning fire and games. The guests lounge was a fab touch for guests. Our room was well equipped and comfortable, however, our TV remote didn’t work which meant we were unable to change the channel for the duration of our stay even after changing batteries which was a little disappointing.

A lovely welcome on our arrival. Our room was verynice with good quality bedding, towels toiletries and tea/coffee/ biscuits provided ( cold milk for drinks).
Evening meal was very good and more than enough for our appetites. Breakfast too offered range of choices - smoked salmon and scrambled eggs was very generous!!
Service efficient and friendly. Excellent all round.

Room was lovely, service was very good also.very homely and pretty location. Food in the restaurant wasnt great, i ordered a 'handstretched' pizza and it was basically an oven pizza and charged £16 for it, nachos with cheese and bacon was as basic as it sounds for £8. Maybe i chose the wrong items
Staff were very polite.

We were given a ground-floor twin-room (Room1). I had requested a twin-room. Prior to booking, I received a call from the hotel, to confirm that I had requested a twin-room, and it was also mentioned that the room was accessible (I did not need an accessible room). The room has a large window (covered by a curtain) facing the busy local store and tourist information office. When we were in the room during the day, there was no privacy; it felt as if were were sitting in a shop window on view to the shoppers and tourists! If the location of the room had been explained to me during the confirmation phone-call, I would have cancelled the reservation. I conveyed my views when I checked out of the hotel, and was informed that there is only one twin-room in the hotel.
On a positive note, if you need an accessible room, this room would great (except for lack of privacy!).
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean.

The room we were given in the annex was very small and not what the write up and previous reviews had stated. It was a lot of small things that made our stay ðifficult. There was no shelf in the bathroom for toilets, milk for tea and coffee had to be collected from the main hotal because there was no phone in the room. The parking was ok but again if we were not able to park in the shopping spaces then we would have to pay to park. We were informed the resturant may close early due to the lack of staff. There are a few small changes that could have made all the difference to our experience. The room we were in, i got the impression from the other guests that their rooms were much bigger, ours could not even fit in chair. When you have been walking all day we really wanted to sit in a chair rather than just having a bed. Over all we were very disappointed, and were told when we arrived that the last room had just gone to a couple who had just turned up and not booked. The staff were lovely, but the price for the room which was not the standard room was not worth the money we paid.

Parked for free right in front of the Crown. Small but nice room with views. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast.

We were given Room1 The Barn.The room was of ample size with a pleasant decor ,the problem was that the front of the room was a full window facing onto the road /pavement so if you didnt have the curtains closed you had no privacy whatsoever. Also there was a gap underneath the front door of at least 1-1.5 inches that caused a major draft not to mention the noise .It was a very busy location across from a very busy shop with lots of deliveries early morning .I personally would recommend a voil type curtain for privacy to the room allowing guests a little natural light and prehaps a better fitting door the noise and draught spoilt our stay if im honest .The breakfast was fabulous and service was great but the privacy and noise outweighed this.

The staff was accommodating and friendly. They even came knocking on our door to go down for breakfast. The room was spacious, and clean, and had all amenities. Parking is no problem. Ground floor pub with outside seating. Delicious food. We Wwll definitely go again.

Just another review saying how wonderful all the staff were. Even took us up to our room as it was late to ensure other guests were not disturbed. It's the little things that make a stay amazing and this place delivered. The walks around the area are amazing and we had a great nights sleep before starting our walk around Ullswater.

We loved the hotel and the room we had was in the stable. We had 2 dogs so it was perfect for us. Very dog friendly. A couple of things would make it even better. A door mat and a broom would help keep the floor cleaner and a small fridge for milk as we kept forgetting to get the small flask from the bar.

Too many dogs barking / jumping on furniture / one peed in the restaurant one night was put off dog smell and at breakfast the same not for us should decide if all dogs then we know if you don’t have any. I don’t want to eat my breakfast or dinner with a dog barking or next to me

2 days previously we stayed in a supposed 4 star hotel. The crown Inn was far superior in all respects. The staff we welcoming, attentive and made a great fuss of our dog!
The place was clean and everything in the room worked - which is more than I can say for the supposed 4 star - where even after bringing things to the attention of the management nothing was done.
Would certainly stay there again.

Loved the hotel location. The room, food and service were excellent. Just a bit disappointed that the bins hadn’t been emptied or the shower gel replaced but once that was pointed out it was immediately dealt with.

Great location shame no parking we was very lucky getting a space in front tof the Crown Inn but this could be a problem. Nice hotel food very good only down side everyone has to order on an app and for some this can be a pain specially the older generation also you dont get to know the staff no communication. Room comfortable but very warm we was in a standard room right at the top with a very small window and lots of stairs to climb .

Hotel room lovely, comfortable bed, clean, great tea and coffee facilities, good shower room and fabulous view. Not quite all together with the food though.

Room 3 was a converted out building next to the inn, the room was small but comfortable as i was on my own, modern decor and new, bed was very comfy and bathroom was spacious and nicely furnished with a large rainfall shower and very clean. Amenities in room very good with a good selection of fresh coffee and tea, fresh milk is provided and huge flat screen tv which can be angled on wall mount for perfect viewing. Also a fan is provided which helps keep room cool in hot weather.
The inn has been re furbished with ample seating and table service in a modern app ordering system which was very efficient with promp delivery of food and drinks with very friendly and courteous staff, food is exellent and breakfast is pre ordered on arrival with a large selection and very satisfying.
The outdoor seating is scenic overlooking the river and wildlife (ducks)
Only downside is that room 3 is nextvto the delivery acces to the inn and can be noisy from 7am with delivery drivers 😒 good job i was planning an early start to the day.

Our stay was amazing, the room was large and clean room 4. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you, The location is ideal and close to the water for walking, boats and swimming. The breakfast was very large and tasty. Would go back again. I had to change our booking a few times and Jonny on reception was very patient and accommodating. I left my purse in the room on check put and the staff called me to say it was in the safe so I could collect on the way home. My bad but they did all they could to make sure I got it back.
